Hello. I would simply like to know how to restore my copy of MBG? Like erase all data, and stuff. I kinda screwed it up, so. :P (I have all the backup files on a flash drive, so I really won't care about stuff).

I have a Macintosh, Snow Leopard 10.6.8. My copy of MBG was from my old iBook G4. Also the game's version is 1.5.2.

Kinda hard to tell what files you were referring to that you backed up... (the original version of MBG or the edited version?)

If you backed up the original version of MBG before any modifications/additions...

Whatever you screwed up, you can restore it by copying the corresponding back up file/folder. For example, if you've screwed up init.cs, then replace it with the backup init.cs that you have.



If you backed up your modifications such as downloaded custom levels...

Reinstall MBG. If you've lost the installer, you have to buy the game again from Macgamestore OR illegally download it from other websites for free (NOT RECOMMENDED).

That's fairly likely to be bugged and such (they are non-ignition), I'd recommend finding your login credentials if you got it from Garagegames (No installer in download, just the game, as normal), or from whatever site you got it. Can you not redownload it from the MGS?

You screwed up your MBG. How? Is the screen white or something? Drag out the MarbleBlast folder in the Library to the desktop, and reopen it. Files in the Marbleblast folder override files in the game, so check that first. (It stores your times, though). You didn't screw it up with those fonts, did you?

If you really want to reset (I wouldn't, but it's your preference!), then remove the MarbleBlast folder, remove your MBG copy (or just don't use it), and then restore your MarbleBlast Gold app and your old MarbleBlast folder, if you have one. (Else, it will recreate with default settings.). That is how you reset. Oh, and if it's not initialized, you may have to enter your code again.

Also I do believe you can't mention those at all, T2R. I'd edit that out. I believe a staff member might be able to resupply you with a copy.

I just want to restore all level data, and a problem in the game.cs file (the one that is used in the end game GUI with the You beat the GOLD time stuff) that the game reads, which I edited. The game still reads it, even though it's not in the application's folder.

I can't, because I had the pre-installed version on my iBook G4. I don't have it (the laptop) anymore, now I have a MacBook Pro.

In that case, check your Library. Many MBG/MBP stuff are there.

As I said...

Locate the Library folder. It should be in your home directory, your [username] folder. The folder is not hidden in 10.6. Then open the Library folder and locate the MarbleBlast folder in it. Drag the MarbleBlast folder out of the Library folder. Then remove the common folder, and ALL dso's contained in the marble folder, and in any other folders within it. Move the MarbleBlast folder BACK into the Library folder, and launch the game. As long as there are no bad files in the application, the game should work fine.
